If anyone has a Citi AA credit card, then that must mean they are interested or fly enough on AA to the point they should be familiar with the elite status levels and the boarding process, because why would you ever get an airline co-branded card if you are completely unfamiliar with the airline?
I don't know, I would argue that these cards are actually most attractive to kettles. If you look at the benefits, they offer little for those with status, but are a big step up for those with no status who fly 2-3 flights per year.
